If you keep your GPA at least 3.3 (preferably, as Prof X says, 3.5 by application time), do well on the GRE, and have excellent letters, research experiences, etc. - programs will overlook your previous GPA. Lots of people screw up freshman year (or longer). What the programs will see is a person who screwed up early, but has consistently done better and has sought out other opportunities. Don't worry - just keep doing what you're doing.
